I need help with a name for a Vampiress in my new novel...any ideas?

Question

It was Belladonna, but I discovered that to be a cliche, so now I'm considering Isabella or Genevieve. Any suggestions for other names?

Answer 1

All of those are cliche. It depends on what you want to evoke with this character. To follow the general path, look up foreign names. Try Greek like Daria or Sofia. Or you can go middle eastern with Rabiah or Shivani, etc. But, having a common name such as Ashley or Jessica can be just as effective.  

Answer 2

It doesn't matter what her name is, the vampire itself is cliche.

Answer 3

Isabella sounds good.

How about something more surreal, such as Vixen?

Answer 4

Kaia

Eve

Ysabell

Bella

Cassandra

Elyse

Starla

Jade

cant think of any others

Hope that helps =]

Answer 5

look at old latin names and then add your own twists in them.

Answer 6

1. Sordonna

2. Belisha

3. Genova

4. Rubella

5. Listiska

Answer 7

How about Meena?

Answer 8

Um...well Belladonna and Isabella are like Twilight.  I wouldn't want to "copy" that.

Answer 9

Isabella is good, that sounds very vampiress to me!

I tend to 'make up' names that end in A and they seem to fit the part of a vampiress oddly enough.

Lavenia

Ravellia

Vickeula

Just say some ridiculous name in your head and then you switch around vowels etc...and before you know it, you have a 'fantasy' like name :-)

Answer 10

what about Jada or Teirny (pronounce tear-ny)?

it really depends on her personality. if shes more "girly" i would suggest Arianna, Maddy/Madison, or maybe Sophie or Sophia. if she isnt girly at all, maybe Dylan, Aiden, Hayden, Avery.

or if you wnat a really unique name: Trinity, Ashlyn, Tatum, Teagan, Annabelle, Annika, Dante.

hope this helped!
